Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), as its name suggests, focuses on solutions and is goal-oriented, rather than problem focused as many other therapies are.
Our Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) course is a valuable tool for those who are formally recognised as helping professionals as well as ‘informal helpers’ thus people whose primary role is not viewed as caring or supporting others emotionally but whose daily routine inevitably involves helping people in crisis or distress. Our Solution Focused Brief Therapy course empowers helping professionals and informal helpers in the field of social work, counselling, psychology, psychiatry, medical health, human resources, social care, education, community, childcare and voluntary settings. The course offers a challenging and innovative study experience which draws on theoretical perspectives plus professional practice.
Knowledge learnt may be used as a stepping stone for those who would like to develop a career in the field of psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry or mental health.
Assessment
This course is knowledge-based, however, it includes a practical aspect so that you can demonstrate your newly-found skills. To meet the assessment criteria, you will be required to interact with several case study scenarios and provide a development journal of learning that will you to track and reflect on the ways you have applied your counselling skills in your everyday life or social care setting. This is so your assessor can see how you apply your knowledge to different situations, which will, in turn, help you confidently practice your skills in the future.
Additionally at the end of every unit, you will undergo assessments to gauge your understanding and readiness for each next unit. Also putting theory into practice is central to gaining competency in SFBT therefore students are advised to implement the knowledge and skills learnt in their work settings.
